Old town Hattingen
Clothiers and flourishing textile businesses made Hattingen flourish even in Hanseatic times. But this pearl on the Ruhr was also rich in mineral resources. A certain Count Heinrich, for example, ensured the arrival of heavy industry and even more hustle and bustle with his "Hütte" (ironworks) at the gates of the town. A beautiful little town! A little stroll would be very close to my heart. Alfred...? Would you still have coal for a few ... let's say ... pearls?
